Mass. gambling panel OKs revised casino land deal - 0 Comments

BOSTON — Four members of the state gambling commission signed off on a revised real estate deal for a proposed resort casino in Everett that would substantially reduce the price Wynn Resorts paid for the land and prevent anyone that might have a hidden ownership interest — including a convicted felon — from profiting off the sale of the property.

The panel's chairman and fifth member, Stephen Crosby, recused himself from Friday's discussion and vote after revealing that he was a friend and one-time business partner of Paul Lohnes, one of the principal owners of the land.
